BELLINGHAM, Wash., March 28, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- When K. Jack Sameshima's parents immigrated to the United States, his fate, in one way or another was sealed. In his engaging new book, My Nisei Story: A Journey of Great Satisfaction, he looks back and records the story of his life.
During the Second World War, Sameshima was forced into concentration camps by the United States of America, his own country. Despite the tragedy he experienced in the war, he struggled and persevered. His road to getting a college education was not without its share of difficulties either, but he graduated and earned his engineering degree. After college, he met his true love -- a kind, loyal, and intelligent American woman. Together they raised a family and stayed happily married over fifty years until her death.
Through his memoir My Nisei Story, Sameshima reminds the reader of the importance of American democracy and the important role played by the individual citizen. At the same time, he proves that interracial marriages can work with optimism and open-mindedness. So in these pages, journey with him and discover the things that truly matter in life.
